Table 3-2. drive/diskette compatibility
Drive type Diskette types it can read from and write to
720KB 720KB
1.44MB 720KB, 1.44MB
If you have any combination of the above drives (360KB, 1.2MB,
720KB, and 1.44MB), you can copy files from one drive to another (using the
COPY command) as long as the correct diskette type is in each drive. You
can also copy files between a hard disk and any type of diskette. You cannot
use the DISKCOPY command to copy from one drive to another if the two
drives are not the same type.
If you have two drives of different types and want to copy from one
diskette to another of the same type, you need to use MS-DOS to change
your system’s drive configuration. You do this by inserting the MS-DOS
command DRIVER.SYS in a configuration file. See your MS-DOS manual
for instructions.
You can copy files between a hard disk and any type of diskette. See your
MS-DOS or other software manual for instructions on how to copy files.
Caring for your Disks and Disk Drives
To avoid damaging floppy and hard disks, you need to care for them
properly. Take these precautions to avoid losing data:
Keep disks away from dust and dirt. Small particles of dust or dirt
scratch the magnetic surface and can destroy data. Dust can also ruin
the read/write heads in a disk drive.
Keep disks away from magnetic fields. (Remember that disks store data
magnetically.) There are many sources of magnetism in your home or
office, such as electrical appliances, telephones, and loudspeakers.
Keep disks in a moderate environment. They work best at room-
temperature and in normal humidity. Never leave diskettes sitting in the
sun, or in extreme cold or heat. The temperature in a car in the middle
of summer or winter can cause severe damage.
